Days of Future Past Ideas on how to achieve time travel

Interesting ideas... but I have a few questions.

Is that Franklin's power?

and how much time would you have him traveling in time in the beggining?

 

Way too Complicated.I see eather the comic version of changing mind with younger self(Xavier or Wolverine or Mystique) or physicaling sending someone to Past(Wolverine
or Rogue/Kitty depending on which one they use)

 

edited: you have just answered me, hehe. so it wont be longer than 1 min, right? at least Franklin part.

I think some ideas seem complicated to fans while reading them, but on the actual movie, it could be done by a good director in a fine way without making it too long, so its not a bad idea.

No exactly what Id love to see just in the very intro, but its a nice idea.

I like Rogue ideas much more, tho she's one of my faves characters, so Id love to see something like that, definetly

 

Wow, love that page. She looks really great and I can see Anna looking like that easily, and playing a badass Rogue.

Id like to see Kitty on this sequel, personally I think she DESERVES to be on this story, but would love to see Rogue again, so I have mixed feelings with the returning actors issue.

Not sure if Id like to see both Kitty and Rogue on the sequel, because I want to feel the drama behind this future, with some well known x-men dead already, so.... Its a hard decision.

I definetly need a X5

 

Since when did time travel become cheesy?

 

A person with time-travel powers might be an interesting alternative to the usual MacGuffin of a machine/device.

 

yes, I like it more than an actual machine. Although having Forge creating the mach would be a cool watch too, so.... dont know! lol

too many great posibilites

 

playing on both the time travel mutant power and using Rogue

I had this idea where, we open in the current/not to distant future timeline as it should be (taking past 5-10s after The Last Stand, or what of it they keep in continues) the team chasing down an unknown mutant, Rogue gets a jump on him/her and comes in connect long enough to absorb their power/memory, just before he/she breaks free an disappears (seemingly into thin air/in a bring light)...

then we see the world change around Rogue (with her remaining unaffected cause she still has the other mutants powers) she doesn't know whats going on and wonders outside trying to figure out where she is, entering into a war zone environment... someone like Cyclops comes running to her rescue just before being hit by falling debri (or something) yelling out to her "where did you come from" "what are you doing out here" "who are you"... she look at him confuse at his questions, saying "Cyclops your alive" "how?" "don't you remember me" "where are the other x-men"
he replys "who are the x-men" "what are you talking about" she looks around this "it's not suppose to be like this"... then gets a flash of the time-traveling Mutants memories (seeing where he was going) then {flash} she subconsciously actives her new found ability and both her an Cyclops disappear... then cut to the 60's

I know that radically differs from the comic...

 

its really different, yes... but I LOVE it!! lol

honestly, its a great idea, specially having Rogue seeing other mutant memories and that meet with Scott. really original, at least for the franchise.

we'll see what happens, but if Singer uses Rogue, I really hope he shows how Rogues powers are much more than just gettings others habilities.

 

Not bad. I don't mind at all that it differs from the comic: it's the spirit of the story that's important (time travel to stop a dystopian future).

I do like Rogue having a pivotal, expanded role. But what happens to the time-travelling mutant from whom she absorbs memories/powers? He can't just disappear and be forgotten or he's just a plot device.

The way I see it, the time travel has to be different from just being some random machine, and the best two ways are:

1) Forge modifies Cerebro to allow Xavier's consciousness to reach through time
2) Something like your suggestion of Rogue and a time-travel mutant

I really like the idea of Rogue being the traveller in that way, and with Cyclops it would be an extra special bonus.

 

the time traveling mutant would be the antagonist/villain type character who causes the time line to alter with his traveling (rather its attentional/ accidental/ or even someone else pulling his strings) they would have to track him down and stop whatever he does to effect the future

needing to find him would probably lead them to seek Xavier (of the past)

plus, Rogue would only be able to hold his powers for a short time, so, if they don't find him it will be a one way trip

 

Logically, it would be Fitzroy as he was involved with Sentinels and a dystopian future in the excellent animated series story One Man's Worth. But he's not really someone fans are clamouring to see on the big screen.

 

I'd rather see an established character than a made up one. Gateway can open portals to other timelines.

 

Fitzroy isn't made up!?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Fitzroy

 

I don't imagine Gateway appearing in any of the X-Men movies. I see a mutant from the future (Beast or Forge or Cable - if they don't want use to Forge and Beast) creating a time machine to go back to the past. I hope time travel wouldn't sound and look complicated, just make it simple and direct like the time travel of the TV show Heroes. I feel like alternate universe is too early for the X-Men movies.

 

I know he's not made up. While people might not be clamouring to see him in films, I'd rather see him or anyone else already established in the comics than a made up mutant on screeen.

 

totally agree. And he seems a good choice. Specially if they want Rogue traveling back. If its Kitty, she could travel with him, but it wouldnt be cool to have two mutants from the future in the 60's, at least in my opinion.

 

if your referring to my suggestion including "an unknown mutant" I wasn't saying it should be a made up mutant, just that, at that point in the story we aren't meant to know who it is yet (or at least general audience, isn't... but, someone fans would probably recognized) I was purposely leaving it open ended to fit which every character they'd want to use (didn't really have one in mind)
